Wow, if Van Aert was just 1h 36m faster in this TT, he would’ve taken the yellow jersey today!
Not really he would still ahve lost
So close. Teleportation wouldn't be enough, but time machine might have helped.
haha...its imposible..maybe you ride a motorcycle🤣
😂
Jonas probably went for it to make sure Pog or G didn’t displace WVA, then sat up once They finished and their times were slower than WVA. It was all about a JV win.
WVA bursting into pure tears after Vingegaard crosses the finish line is something I'll never forget. Wow, cycling is just great
Why do cyclists cry so much? I don’t think of any other sport with so much crying. I don’t mind, it’s just interesting
3 weeks of instense extreme sport. Something you work towards year long. It's natural to be emotional when you success as much as Jumbo as done this year.
@@Sampsonoff because they are willing to show genuine emotion and aren’t toxicly masculine
@@Sampsonoff Due to the overproduction of the hormones as a result of doping, they become hysterical.
🥹🥹♥️♥️♥️♥️
I just heard an interview with Jonas, where he admits that he wanted Wout to win the stage, so when he heard that Pogacar did not gain time on him he stopped pushing hard for the stage win in order to let Wout win. This make my heart melt. True sportsmanship and what a team.
Totally saw that in his TT. At the end there I was like, Jonas wasn't pushing anymore. I knew he wanted to give Wout the win of the day.
I am so happy for jonas, wout and the whole TJV, how these guys trust, support and are happy for each other is just incredible. Their teamspirit plays a really big part in their success
The only big question will be Primoz Roglich, 2 years ago he lost it all on the last TT, thinking he still has chances on boom Vingegård wins....... question is if Ineos want him instead of a aging G.Thomas.
@@adrianpallis4568 An aging G who consistently proved he was the best of the rest. There's only three years in it between those two anyway.
@@adrianpallis4568 Depends on the condition of Bernal when he returns. But I don't think the chemistry of Roglic and Ineos fits together.
Team Jonas Vingegaard
So sad because the best cyclist didn't win the tour and instead the most doped weirdo won it also with the help of the most doped team on the Tour.
My heart skipped a beat when Jonas hit the gravel on that corner. But seeing Wout on the finish line to congratulate Jonas and seeing him in tears was just amazing. What a team 😍❤️
Wout was saying thanks to Jonas for letting him win the stage!
Everyone is saying that he was riding that hard for the stage win, but I think his true goal was to beat Pogačar one last time. To prove he was not only in the best team and the best climber of the pair in this TDF, but also the best on the TTs. To give the final hammerblow on the all-out pre-race favorite and show that HE was the best
And so he was!😉
Exactly!
And yes, he was. No doubt team orders to dial it back and play it by the numbers, and share one with his team mate.
@@RichieB636 they seem really close, so I wouldn't be surprised if he gave Wout the win on his own Accord
❤️ to Pogacar, such a great combatant, smiling and hugging the others. And of course being there for the media and fans, quite approachable. I think through all the deserved praise for TJV and Jonas, there should also be some appreciation for what Pogacar is doing for the sport, showing what utter passion and joy look like :)
perfect rivalvry for the years to come. cant wait
It's going to make cycling so interesting throughout their careers. Pogi showed what a great champion he is even losing. He gave it his all. I bet UAE are going to throw some cash around in the off season
Agree Pogacar is good for the sport of cycling. Smiling during and congratulating others in a tough tour. Denmark is happy to have TDF champion who won it in style. Jonas only weighs 132# but is still good in TT.
WVA said in an interview after the stage, that Jonas told him, he wanted him to win the stage, since he said it was his wish to do it in green. So there for Jonas stood up in the last k
@히히하하 its quoted in the danish media not 100% sure where from. i think it was the post stage interview with WVA. He says “I gave it my all today, I wanted to win the stage, I hoped I would. And Jonas would come in, in yellow. Apparently Jonas has such a great heart, he thought the same”
@히히하하 Jonas told that on a interview to Danish tv a half year later after the TDF! When he knew that he was beating Pogacar in the tt he was slowing down because he wants Van Aert to win.
The emotion! Wout, Jonas with his partner and child. Yesterday with LaPorte. Then Houle. So many stories. Love it!
Is Jonas actually a bike handling god? He sure made Pogacar look slow in most corners at this Tour, and then that save in this TT was incredible. He was riding a one inch line of tarmac before he went off into the grass and hit that rock wall. He definitely seems like he can descend better than most of the other GC guys.
I think Vingegaard is such a good and confident descender that when he's just riding it looks like he's taking risks. That was a world class save, no drama, just save it and get back to work. Wout's reaction was great.
Thanks for these videos the last few weeks LR - loved every single one of them
Just want to point out that you nailed the pronunciation of Mikkel Bjerg
I noticed too. How does he do it? Love this channel.
I love him as well! But he is absolutely butchering the name of Meintjes
@@RubenTheCartographer Yeah, but I've wondered how to correctly pronounce it myself.
Wout confirmed it in his winner interview and that's why he was so emotional. Perhaps Jonas wouldn't have won anyway if he went all out but he didn't wanna contest his great teammate and friend. True leader
He was more than a minute faster lol. He slowed down a lot. If he wanted to he would have won with more than a minute lead
@@kristianstuller2321 tha's not true at all? he was 2 seconds behind before the last climb after he almost crashed, right?
He was behind when he almost crashed indeed. Moreover, everything about that situation seemed to suggest he was trying to make a point by beating WvA time (Pogi and Thomas already finished so it was clear that Jumbo was gonna take the tour and the stage). Yet, even knowing that, he persisted in taking insane risks, almost crashing out of the TdF. There’s no way he gave this away voluntarily… team orders…
@@wx3054 He took the risks to go for the stage win BEFORE Pogacar and G had crossed the line. In case one of them had beaten Wout he would have gone all out for the stage but Wout remained in the lead
@@otto0363 it happened 2,5km before the finish. Thomas was at the time 350m away from finishing, pogi 1km. They both finished half a minute behind WvA. It is unthinkable that Vingegaard was encouraged to take those risks on the descent, since the stage win was for TJV / WvA with 99% certainty.
Even the photos you choose to include in your videos are the dog's bollocks.
Keep doing what you do, the podcast, this channel - are products of passion, and it shows. Head and shoulders above the rest.
what we really need after this TdF is an in-depth a alysis of TJV strategy and what they heck did they exactly pull at stage 11
Quite simply they used Pogacar’s confidence against him.
Pogacar´s eagerness to sprint after every single Jumbo rider was his downfall, he should just have stuck to Jonas´s wheels. He could have lost the yellow Jersey to another Jumbo rider that day in doing that but the only threat in the mountains was Jonas.
Well, given that they're employed by TJV they should have plenty of insight into their strategy.
Or not. Maybe they'll stick to implicating UAE riders for one off freak performances. After all, a full tour of freak performances isn't worth any scrutiny.
Wait for Netflix doco, they are following TJV atm
@@AurioDK yes, that was his error. Should have let Roglic go.
Wout almost made in into top 20 in GC! pretty incredible considering he was languishing in #60 after Planche Bel Filles.
@Петро Ґ what kind of cycling are you watching where Wout is not popular?
@Петро Ґ I get that you can not be a fan of Wout, but to say that Wout is not popular is wrong
@Петро Ґ you clearly want to comment on your reasons since you brought it up. Don’t be a child
@Петро Ґ sounds like you need to go ride your bike, get some of that bitterness out
Nothing suspicious about that lol
Laterne rouge is legit the best commentator. Hevshows so many insights which i.e. GCN is not showing. LR a fricking legend!
Wout has gone through this as much as any TJV GC guy, Primoz or Jonas. That guy has given it all to see the team get TDF GC win.
And that is why those tears shed.
What a guy, what a champion!
Green jersey 💚
3×stage wins
1×Super Combative
1×GC win
Agree. WVA couldn't believe it when pogacar beat primoz in 2020 TT.
Wout was truly happy the team mission was accomplished and happy for Vinno. Hence his tears.
A truly next gen rider - climber, sprinter, TT’er, domestique, captain...
I wanted Jonas to take this one as well. Because in the end its all about who's faster on the bike. But once Jonas realized Van Aert had beaten all, he must have decided to let it go, instead of SPRINTING to beat an important teammate.
Jonas, what a journey and pleasure it has been to follow along. Must be a wild feeling you have. Now just some victory laps and you've done it, brother. Greetings from DENMARK! LETS GO!
Excellent commentary and production. Thanks.
thank you thank you thank you so much for your beautiful coverage of the tour
Team Jumbo Visma...very professional. Congratulations to rider's and the whole team/support. Jonas...Champion GC Yellow Jersey for 2022. Viva la Tour. Cheers to Lanterne Rouge channel.
WvA build is on another level. Really, after days and days of insane efforts, he still manage to help his leader in different terrian and still win stages, he's energy bank is absolutely enormous. Giga Chad mode on this tour.😂😂😂
Is this year a textbook example of team perfection from Jumbo Visma? Wow what a tour it's been.
No need for Jonas to be greedy!
What a victory for Cyclesport today.
The Best Guy won TDF an allowed
Wout to win his 3 etape. In Cheater Armstrong Days IT would never had happen.
Vingegaard is a True Winner, and a great human🇩🇰😜🔝❤️‼️
Bro they rode faster than Lance and did it with out even strained faces.
If you think Danes dont dabble in the Jumbo Juice then you dreaming bro.
Lance gifted stages and races to Tyler, Basso etc.
@@durianriders you can't really compare the speed of armstrong and the worldelite today (pog, jonas, wout etc.) because it is 20 years later and there was such a big development in every part of the sport (the preparation, the altitude camps, the bikes (weight, aerodynamics) etc.)
Nowadays the top riders can go up mountains faster with less w/kg
@@dariusmix2957 That's right. I enjoy that we don't talk much about that crap anymore. Only a few sour comments on the internet here and there. No one can say for sure they are not on the juice. But to be honest, i think those days are gone. Everyone saw that it would be exposed at some point no matter how careful they were, and how many people they threatened to be silent.
There is another angle i like, it seems like they are more sympathetic people the topstars of cycling now, than they were back then. I think they deserve our trust until we see some evidence of the contrary.
@@durianriders Armstrong hasn't giftes anything because he hasn't won anything!
Thats a fact he for busted, members of
The club EPO got rewarded.
@@dariusmix2957 As if proper preparation and altitude training wasn't a thing during Armstrong time. That guy prepared like a mad man and was doing the TDF climbs when it was still snowing. The bikes are also slightly heavier now. Why don't you know that if you're acting like a know-it-all?!
I hope TJW can keep the core team together. They have something special that cycling needs!
Cycling doesn't need an insanely dominant team.
@@jamaly77 Cycling needs a proper team that others can learn from. One where they fight for each other and understand how to utilize the team and not just a few individualists. Cycling needs a team like that right now, and that is TJW 🔥
@@MichaelHolmgaard I think you're just a fan of that team. I don't see any benefit of having dominant teams. Wasn't fun with Sky either.
@@jamaly77 TJW are dominant because they do cycling as a team sport. That is the difference to the Sky train for example. They just bought the best riders and let them loose. TJW does not have the strongest team on paper, but they drive for each other properly and make use of true team tactics to get ahead of the rest. Even when they lost two of their most important riders, TJw didn't suffer because the strategy was still intact.
Nice one, btw that photo at 2:32 of pogacar is mint 👍 good find
Great coverage of the tour as always. Could you make a video or share your thoughts on whether you think it's possible for Wout to go for the yellow jersey in the future? I seriously wonder if there's anything he can't do
Super job LR
Both WvA and Jonas said in interviews that Jonas lifted off to give Wout the win.
I know Wout said that, but where did Jonas say that?
@@sgguitar In his style. You could see him just "touring" it instead of giving it all.
I don't know if a video exists of the interview, but Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet quotes JV as saying that WVA "won by 19 seconds, and of course I took it easy on the last 200 m, but even if I had given it everything to the finish line, I wouldn't have won anyway, so Wout was just the best today, and I'm happy that he won."
@@sgguitar I don't think either of them did. Some are just reading too much into statements to the effect that Jonas was happy for his teammate/friend.
They have radios ? , very bizarre for jonas to go for the win , he was definitely trying
Gracias!!!
He let the gas off at the end for Wout.What a guy
So depressing. How many times did GCN have to say ‘incredible’, ‘out of this’ or ‘unbelievable’? Because they can’t say WTF is going on?
Wout van Aert is such an amazing rider. Not only does he smash the record for most points ever in the Green Jersey leaderboard but he works his butt off for his captain and teammates. What a guy!
Interesting that after the UCI "had discussions with teams about stacking the following cars in time trials with a lot of bikes, Ineos have stopped doing it. Shame that JV haven't though. Big props to the JV guys this tour. Masterclass.
looking back
ganna really looking into hour record performance!
i wish to see this huge cast line up from jumbo visma next year and win the GC with SRAM!!!
Jonas slowed and gave the victory to wout for several reasons. The least is the love these guys have for one another as team mates. Wout wanted this victory so bad and Jonas already had what he wanted. This was Jonas saying thanks.
He nearly slammed into a mountain and could have lost yellow. IMO he eased up because he realized he was being stupid, not as a gift to Wout.
@@rendezvous_with The last part was a climb (and he was 5 seconds ahead at that time), there was no way he could crash there, I mean Wout even said it in the interview just after and I think he would know.
Vingegaard gave the stage to WVA. Wow a Leader!
Van aert is the leader of that team.
WVA.... amazing, what can't he do?... amazing rider... new and improved version of Sagan.
The reason why Vingegaard let Van Aert win the stage was so now Van Aert has broken the new era sprint record set by Sagen in 2018 (477 p). If Jonas won Van Aert would only equal Sagans 477. But by Van Aert winning the stage, he also broke Sagans record. Van Aert has now 480 p in green with one sprint stage to go.
I’m pretty sure he’s going to score some more points and finish with over 500 anyway
I think if Vingegaard was going for the win.......just from the gate times he was ahead. Until he almost hit the wall, I think he figured the bigger goal was to win the Tour instead of the stage. It was a nice gesture to let Wout win the stage though and the way they worked as a team and strategy.......was awesome to see, they sacrificed for each other the entire tour. Wout with La Port, Brandon on the hill for Vingegaard.
**Vingegaard was going for the win....{not "if"}
I'm 99,9% sure it was to give the stage to his best helper who deserves it so much
@@otto0363 ok, sure, but he didn't have to ride so hard and take that many chances. He has 3 minutes on TP and a bigger team to take him into Paris.
Thanks for the videos JumboVisma TH-cam channel. Ethics out of the window, so is this subscription.
As a Dane I’m proud of jonas. BUT there was definitely no drama and no heart stopping moments without pogacar they math each other so good
when job is done done they show huge respect for each other. But in the races the
Two Young guys fight like vicious animals The greatest thing is that they both are so young so we hopefully will get to see many many more of those races in many years forward.
if jonas pulls through he wins the stage. he was ahead on every section and seriously slowed down for the finish.
Vingegaard was 2 seconds ahead of van aert on the 2 last climb, but let off the peddle after the near crash. He could have won on the last climb if he went 100p..
I think he "made sure" that WVA got the stage. I think that's where the emotion came from
+5 seconds at the bottom of the last climb, was on live footage.
@@dio8450 But JV could have picked that up on the last climb, I don't think anyone doubts that.
Had TP beaten WvA's time, JV would have gone all in to win it - alas TP didn't so JV was content with just beating TP's time, and thereby silencing all the petty people who kept saying: "JV is only winning cuz his team is better".
He has now proven he is better in both the mountains, TT, strategy, stamina and more.
This year JV was the better rider of the two - that can't be up for debate anymore.
When Jonas nearly crashed and I was one of the guys in the car for TJV I would have screamed like Spongebob when Squidward told him the slasher story during night shift.
meintjes sprint tomorrow to take back his 7th on gc or are there no bonus seconds for gc?
Small detail, but I’m excited to see the winner and his team sip and toast champagne after the past two additions with UAE prohibiting it.
Bauke had a heck of a TT ride.
Fred in 8th. Go on lad!
Thomas beats Ganna - wow. G had a great tour
Incredible, indeed, never saw such TT since Bernhard Kohl and Mikael Rasmussen
Do you reckon bisseger had a chance prior to his bike change?
Van Aert said that Vingegaard asked the teamcar to let him know if it was between him and Van Aert, because he wanted Van Aert to win :D
vingegaard 👑
Super critical words last night in the Netherlands’ most important cycling talk show.
People like Marcel Kittel were among the guests, and they were extremely disappointed how TJV handled press conference questions regarding doping after the finish. They were saying that after being so dominant this seeason, TJV has a responsibility to be transparent about their performances in order to not re-create much of the doubt that the Armstrong era brought to cycling.
Since TJV is a Dutch team and the talk show is usually extremely biased in favor of them, I was quite taken aback by these strong words. What are your opinions guys?
No video for the final stage?
Wout left it all out there to until he'd hit a wall to send Jonas to the finish. Jonas almost hit a wall out there until he turned left to meet Wout at the finish.
Didn't understand the real reason for crying WVA after the stage. Was it because of the high pressure, which dissolved after all?
Well done mate. Great set of Tour videos- put your competitors to shame.
Sprinters rested today on tt
Tough for wva to win o. Champs
But he has the lead out man....
Literally brought to you by Jumbo Visma.
YESSSSSSSSSSS FINALLY A DANISH WINNER THAT HAS BEEN MANY YEARS SINS.
You should have the standings for the other jerseys.
I am convinced Jonas sat up at the end to let Wout win otherwise it could have gone either way.
Today's thumbs up is for the upcoming TDF Femmes.
✔✔✔✔
Which will be even more one-sided. No thanks. I prefer competition.
Obviously green jumbo jersey gives you superpowers in a TT
Did Vingegaard crash before the start? There is blood on his left elbow, and his left knee looks freshly scratched.
Since Miguel Indurain, there haven't been such a gentleman in this sport
Can someone tell me why there are no more team time trials?
just a qustion, why dosent Vingegaard get the white jersey if he is 25 year old and therefore below the requrement of being below 26?
It has to be before the year you become 26, which he will be this year
Hvorfor slår du det ikke selv op ?........
@@peha524 hvorfor må du være irriterende?
Jonas is born the 10 of december 1996
Holy shit. I just realized that Jumbo Visma would've gotten all the jerseys if Jonas was a month younger
I know this when i was on TV
He sat up.
Is the tumbnail ok?
No Last Stage Video? :(
So where are all those that were shouting Pogačar is doping? Are Jumbo Visma guys those who are actually doping or they are clean and just naturally good riders and only Pogačar is doping?! 😁😁
And JV dominating every stage in a way skyneos never came close to
Yeah Jumbo is on some new stuff for sure
We won’t know until years down the line, but the sudden improvement byJonas, the power and recovery he’s putting down is pretty sus. He doesn’t even seem to be struggling at all. I think it’s more than just he’s “peaking” for the race.
JV simply have 2 of the best cyclists in the world in the same team while UAE has only one..
They weird part is personality wise both pog and Jonas feel incapable of doping, but perhaps the new stuff is so undetectable at the moment the teams are just putting it in their supplements
Where's the Stage 21 recap??
Vingo taking maximum of risk mades WVA stress out and cry
True story saw it with my own eyes
He prevails, despite those damn disk brakes.....!!
everyone is on discs now bro so equally disadvantaged. Pog crashed because his rear disc locked up and cooked his line so much he ended up in the gravel.
Meh. I don’t know that there was a single moment during the entire race that Jonas looked like he was under the least bit of pressure. And this was a *hard* TDF.
Just feels sketchy when you watch it, but I certainly appreciate the battle between TJV and Pog.
The people saying JV gave away the win are being disrespectful toward Van Aert. Van Aert is a tank and he was the fastest. I imagine after the near crash, JV was thinking "right, let's just get this home rather than trying to be a hero." WVA makes going to the edge look easy. JV nearly lost everything trying to match him and it may well be that he didn't have the legs to keep doing it and be confident of maintaining control. Would have been just a silly risk.
Van Aert won fair and square and on merit.
Jonas definately let of the gas in the end for wout. He was 4-5 seconds faster 3 km before the goal and then comes in 17 seconds after him at the end at the point where he was strongest. You can see he was celebrating on the way back and sitting up taking it slow. However wout deserved the win and it i is not like there would have been a big difference only 5-10 seconds on the whole TT if jonas went for the win.
Rumor has it TJV have some spot on consulting! And no it's not dr. Michèle Ferrari..
I think wout is gone get te record for most green jersey's ever if he wants to go for it
Looks like WVA is using custom shoes with Boa dial in the heel for Time Trials. Anyone else noticed this?
Looks like they are indeed. Antiloper cycling shoes is what the brand is called.
I feel very happy for all LJV but one thing makes me sad... Wout winning combativity and not Simmons .. I mean he s in green 3 stages win... Simmons was all front every fucking day. Also I think about primoz who I m sure is very very happy too 🥲❤️
I hereby dub this TDF "the Wout Rout"
If I'm going for either the win of the Tour de France, in the yellow Jersey, on the penultimate stage, or a stage win over my team mate.
It's a complete non brainer.
Had he crashed into that wall, at best he would gave regretted it for the rest of his life. The worst scenario doesn't bear thinking about.
Discretion is the better part of valour....what on earth was his director sportif thinking.
Or was he willfully ignoring his DS?
Team car: ‘Jonas, slow down. You’re starting to look like Ricardo Ricco’
Imagine leaving Cav behind just to win a single sprint stage...
Yeah makes no sense at all
Good thing there have been so many opportunity's to take a stage win in a sprint!
Which stage would cav have won?
1 of 3 “proper” bunch sprints on flat… it’s not like Jakobsen or any other sprinter has had many other chances.
@@MichaelBoogerd with so few stages, it is even more important to bring Cav as even a single stage win would be a historic event rather than the disappointing outing Quick-Step has had this tour. Even if Cav didn't bring home the green jersey, he'd still be the talk of the tour behind the GC battle and Quick-step would be the team that got him there. Imagine the alternative history of Cav, wearing the British National Champs jersey, charging down the Champs-Elysees to make history or extend his record. Sensational scenes...
Dope
No one is talking about what is Jumbo going to do with Rolgic?? #drama
Just curious, was there ever a team more succesfull than Jumbo at this Tour?
Yes team postal and Armstrong... Do you see now...
Sky 2012 with 1/2 in GC, i think 6 stage wins incl. the win in Paris (Wiggins, Froome and Cavendish)
The dominance of Sky is still fresh, 4 wins in a row and a vuelta and giro as well in the same timeframe?
Ofc, they didn't do a double green and yellow ;)
@@MarvinWestmaas jonas also won polka dot if im not wrong
Telekom in the late 90s
Not to be crass, but how is WVA not the most valuable/highest paid rider in cycling?
The united kingdom of Denmark being reinforced there at the finish line with a Dane and an Inuit embracing.
AfterJonas near crash, he was behind WVA time. He lost 3-5 second hitting the brakes. Let’s stop saying Jonas gifted it to Wout, he was losing time on the virtual tracking as the race went on
Huh? WvA literally said it himself 🤦♂️
Vingegaard could’ve won it if he wanted to for sure, it ended up hill and he’s obviously the best climber in the world.
Jonas began to ride more cautiously after the moment he was about the crash. I think it is the reason why he slowed down, but people like to interpret that he gifted the stage to Wout as they like such stories and Jonas is a nice guy. In the last straight part to the finish, Jonas could have make an attack to win, but it wouldn't make any difference and he would be called as the bad guy.
@@EgeBerkGonul WvA said, himself, that "Jonas granted him the win". I know it must be hard for a Norwegian/Swede to watch this Danish domination, though, it's understandable.
I lost 3-5 seconds reading this comment!
@@CHRoOMAX I am not Scandinavian😅 I know what he said and I really appreciate both guys for their performance and personality. But I believe that he said that for the sake of kindess. Still, it does not make much difference for me for what reason he did not win. I just shared my opinion and I respect that you disagree😉
Was Pog burnt out or given up? People were saying the yellow would be up for grabs if Pog was still 1m30s behind going into this stage. Instead he loses even more time?
He's been attacking jonas since he lost the yellow jersey. All those attacks just came back to bite him. JV is just the better team. The climbs also suited jonas more. Not taking anything away from jonas but if pog had a WvA as teammate it would be impossible to beat him.
he was never going to close the gap even if he was only 1m30 behind.
People who thought that were just dreaming or clueless.
Even Pog said himself that he never expected to be able to gain any significant time on Jonas in the TT,
Vingegaard also beat Pogacar at tt last year. I guess he is just the best ...
@@oldiebutgoodie2638 Hahahahahaha I knew some loser would come here with the team excuse once again, it’s absolutely hilarious 😂
I’m guessing that’s why JV was faster on the TT stage 20 last year too, right?
@@frederikbrandt424 well im being paid by uae so its my job to defend the team and trash TJV.
I think he slowed down for WvA
surprised how much he pushed the TT given he had 3+min and just had to make it through in a reasonable time.
He didn't want to just defend the jersey, he wanted to well and truly beat Pog, not only on the big climbs, but also in the TT. Because we will (or at least I will) remember forever the masterclass on stage 11, the Hautacam, AND this TT as the moments that broke what seemed to be an absolute and inevitable dominance of Pog in the forseeable future. He didn't need to do it, to give the final hammerblow, but not only he did, as he did it while slowing down in the end giving Wout the win. This right here is class personified. Congrats Jonas.
